Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An information handling system comprising: a housing; a processor disposed in the housing and operable to execute instructions that process information; a memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information; a persistent storage device disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor; and a display configured as a peripheral device separate from the housing and interfaced with the processor through an electronic component, the display having a frame held to a raised position by a stand and a display panel, the display panel operable to present the information as visual images and including ferromagnetic material at a back side, the frame having a first set of plural magnets disposed at a perimeter, the first set of plural magnets coupling the display panel in the frame at the perimeter, and a second set of plural magnets disposed within the perimeter aligned to couple the ferromagnetic material at the electronic component coupled in the frame and interfaced with the display panel.
2. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising: a scalar board disposed in the frame as the electronic component; and a cable extending from the scalar board and configured to couple with the display panel.
3. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising: a scalar board disposed in the frame as the electronic component and including a first contactless connector; and a second contactless connector coupled to the display panel back side to align with the first contactless connector when the display panel couples to the frame.
4. The information handling system of claim 3 wherein the first and second contactless connectors comprise first and second transceivers configured to communicate pixel information from the scalar board to the display panel that defines a visual image for presentation at the display panel.
5. The information handling system of claim 4 further comprising plural magnets disposed around a perimeter of the scalar to couple with the ferromagnetic material at the display panel back side.
6. The information handling system of claim 3 further comprising: plural power pins biased outward from the scalar board; and plural power pads exposed at the display back side and aligned to contact the power pins when the display panel couples to the frame.
7. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein: the frame has plural slot openings; and the plural magnets have a slot member sized to fit through the slot opening and rotate to engage the frame.
8. The information handling system of claim 7 wherein the slot member when rotated in the slot opening adjusts a position relative to the frame by sliding within the slot.
9. The information handling system of claim 7 wherein the frame includes a recess sized to accept the magnet at a predetermined position.
10. A method for assembly of an information handling system display, the method comprising: coupling plural magnets to the perimeter of a display frame; coupling plural magnets to the display frame within the perimeter aligned at an electronic component coupled in the display frame; coupling ferromagnetic material to a back side of a display panel; coupling the display panel to the display frame with magnetic attraction of the plural magnets and the ferromagnetic material; and communicating information from the electronic component to the display panel to present visual images at the display panel.
11. The method of claim 10 further comprising: coupling a scalar board to the display frame; and communicating visual information from the scalar board to the display panel through a cable.
12. The method of claim 10 further comprising: coupling a scalar board to the display frame, the scalar board having a first contactless connector; coupling a second contactless connector to the display panel to align with the first contactless connector when the display panel couples to the display frame; and communicating visual information from the scalar board to the display panel as wireless signals between the first contactless connector and the second contactless connector.
13. The method of claim 12 further comprising: extending plural power pins out from the scalar board; and interfacing the power pins against power pads of the display panel when the display panel couples to the display frame.
14. The method of claim 13 further comprising: detecting a failure associated with the display panel; pulling on the display panel away from the display frame to separate the plural magnets from the ferromagnetic material; and coupling a replacement display panel to the display frame.
15. The method of claim 12 wherein at least some of the plural magnets are electropermanent magnets having on and off magnet states, the method further comprising: interfacing the at least some of the plural magnets with a controller of the scalar board; commanding the at least some of the plural magnets with the controller from an on state to an off state; and pulling the display panel to separate from the display frame.
16. A display comprising: a frame having a perimeter; a first set of plural magnets disposed in the frame at the perimeter; a second set of plural magnets disposed in the frame within the perimeter aligned with an electronic component coupled to the frame; and a display panel having a ferromagnetic material at a rear side, the display frame coupling to the frame by magnetic attraction, the electronic component communicating information to the display panel that the display panel presents as visual images.
17. The display of claim 16 further comprising: a scalar board disposed in the frame as the electronic component; a first contactless connector coupled to the scalar board; and a second contactless connector coupled to the display panel to align with the first contactless connector when the display panel couples to the frame, the first contactless connector sending visual information to the second contactless connector as wireless signals for presentation of the visual information as visual images at the display panel.
18. The display of claim 17 further comprising: plural power pins biased outward from the scalar board; and plural power pads exposed at the display back side and aligned to contact the power pins when the display panel coupled to the frame.
19. The display of claim 17 wherein: the frame has plural slot openings; and the plural magnets have a slot member sized to fit through the slot opening and rotate to engage the frame.
20. The display of claim 19 wherein the frame includes a recess sized to accept the magnet at a predetermined position.
